Option 3 - Connecting Three or More Receivers
(System Equipped with Circular Dual LNB)
To connect three or four receivers to the TracVision antenna, you
will need to install an active multiswitch (Channel Master model
6214IFD or equivalent) between the antenna and the receivers.
Two RF cables should already be connected to the RF1 and RF2
plugs on the TracVision antenna. Figure 2-13 shows a typical
wiring arrangement for three or four receivers. Mount the
multiswitch unit in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instruction sheet.
Figure 2-13 Single Multiswitch Installation (Circular Dual LNB
System)
1. Connect the RF cable labeled "RF1" to the multiswitch
input labeled "LNB RHCP +13V.”
2. Connect the RF cable labeled “RF2” to the multiswitch
input labeled "LNB LHCP +18V.”
3. Connect the multiswitch outputs to individual receiver
inputs. Use RG-11 or RG-6 cable with F-type connectors
for all RF connections. Terminate all unused output
connectors with 75 ohm DC blocks (Channel Master
#7184, Radio Shack #15-1259 or equivalent).

The use of an active multiswitch will
interfere with the 22 KHz tone sent
by DIRECTV DSS Plus
™ receivers
to the antenna. As a result, the
antenna will not receive the signal
to change satellites when you
change channels using your
DIRECTV DSS Plus remote.
